The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 28 The secret in the box

"Brother Xue Yi, the meeting office sent someone to deliver this."

Opening the door, the maid Zidie presented a souvenir.

Xue Yi opened it and took a look.

There are a few lines written on it:

[Yinma Lake, 500 miles east of Lingzhou, has been occupied by a group of bandits, causing trouble to the people for more than a year. The leader of the bandits is said to have the peak strength of Dongtian, and there are no less than ten other strong people in the Dongtian realm. The local officers and soldiers were unable to conquer, so they asked Shengwei Mansion for help. My house has enjoyed Emperor Mu's favor for two thousand years, and there is no reason why it should not be repaid. However, the powerful people in the Immortality Realm in the mansion have important matters and cannot go to suppress them for the time being. Then he asked the eldest lady to come forward, move his car to drink in Ma Lake, and save the people in the dire straits within ten days. 】

After reading it, Xue Yi closed the door and handed the souvenir to Xiao Qingruo.

Xiao Qingruo frowned slightly after reading the content of the letter.

Xue Yi: "The letter didn't say that we can mobilize the troops of the Guards Department, which means there are only two of us."

"Well, I am at the third level of Immortality Realm. It is more than enough for me to sweep through a den of thieves by myself. It is reasonable not to give me bodyguards." Xiao Qingruo said.

It makes sense for the meeting office to arrange it this way.

But the problem is that she doesn’t have the strength!

Inside the den of thieves was a peak Cave Heaven Realm practitioner, plus a dozen Cave Heaven Realm cultivators, and an unknown number of ordinary thieves.

Facing such a lineup, without the strength of the Immortality Realm, death is almost certain.

"This is the test question given to you by the Palace Master. It is indeed a bit difficult." Xue Yi felt a little heavy.

Xiao Qingruo thought for a while and said: "We have ten days, five hundred miles to travel, and it only takes one day to ride a fast horse back and forth, so we have nine days to prepare."

"Nine days..."

Xue Yi made a mental calculation: "I will definitely be able to step into the Cave Heaven Realm within this period of time, but facing a number of enemies like Yinma Lake at once, I still have no chance of winning."

The master of the palace wanted to see if Xiao Qingruo had the strength of the Immortality Realm.

The lineup at Yinma Lake happened to be stuck in a very suitable position. Either a large number of Dongtian Realm powerhouses were sent to encircle and suppress them, or the Immortality Realm powerhouses swept through alone.

Send Xiao Qingruo, if she is not strong enough, she will die.

If An Ran comes back, it will prove that she is indeed a strong person.

This question is simple and crude, but very effective.

"It would be great if we could hire an unfamiliar Immortal Realm powerhouse to be a secret thug..."

Xiao Qingruo murmured to himself.

A thug from the immortal realm?

Xue Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

How could a strong man of this level still be a thug? Being a thug is nothing more than making money, and for those who are strong in the Immortality Realm, as long as they join a certain force, they will have a steady stream of resources and money to squander, and there is no need to lower their status like this.

Unless the other party needs money urgently.

"Hey, all the local strong people in Lingzhou know you, and there are almost no immortal-level strong people who are not familiar with you. Where are we going..."

Xue Yizheng was worried.

At this time, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

The young swordsman I met at the Jade Tea House yesterday claimed to be a powerful person in the Immortality Realm. She also said that she owed him a favor and could help kill people...

"Isn't it possible? That little girl is so young, how can she be in the immortal state?" Xue Yi shook his head, feeling that his idea was a bit ridiculous.

Xiao Qingruo heard him talking to himself and wondered: "What little girl? Who are you talking about?"

"It's the person I met yesterday when I was buying tea."

Xue Yi recounted the situation at that time.

When Xiao Qingruo heard that he actually gave away one hundred taels of silver in the end, she couldn't help but be speechless: "I can't tell, you are quite good at pretending. You don't feel bad about spending my money, right?"

"Ha, um... I was just on a whim, thinking that if I am really a master of immortality, it would be good to make a friend." Xue Yi said awkwardly, but he didn't expect that the extra one hundred taels of money would be exposed so quickly.

Xiao Qingruo was not angry, but praised: "Money is an external possession, and it will not be a loss if it can be used in the right place. That girl named Yan Chengxue may be really not simple, and she is definitely not a local. You can go to the Qingyu Tea House and have a look Can you meet her? If you do, give it a try. If you really want to be in the immortal realm, ask her whether she will make a profit or not with a million taels of silver. "

One million taels!

This is the handiwork of the eldest lady!

Xue Yi was a little excited.

"Okay, I'll go take a look! It's the best I can find. If I can't find it, I'll just buy you some sapphire dew."

Anyway, there are still 10 days left, so there is no need to rush to do the Yinma Lake matters.

Xue Yi himself will have to undergo the test of the bodyguard department in two days. There is a good reason to stay in Lingzhou for these two days. !

Xue Yi picked up the dragon-slaying knife, took a 10,000-tael silver note from the eldest lady's cabinet, put it on his body, and then left Lanyuan and headed for the city.

"This guy is quite agile in his work and has good luck. Maybe he can really bring me an Immortal Realm thug back." Xiao Qingruo watched him go away with a look of satisfaction on his face.

But after Xue Yi left, her expression became a little cunning again.

"Hmph...I must find out what is hidden in your box this time!"

Xiao Qingruo walked into the inner room and took out a silver key from under the dressing table.

Then she came to Xue Yi's side room and easily opened the lock that she had changed herself.

Then he opened the closet and took out the wooden box.

"What kind of weapon will it be?" She was a little curious.

The wooden box rubbed and the lid slowly slid open.

Xiao Qingruo opened her eyes expectantly.

The next second...

"Well?"

She was stunned when she saw what was in the box.

There was a piece of paper lying flat in the wooden box with a line of words written on it.

[You are so brave, aren't you? You dare to peek at my things, I'll twist your head off! ]

There was also a pattern of a knife dripping with blood drawn at the bottom.

Xiao Qingruo couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing: "This fool, does he think that putting a note in the box can scare others?"

She took the note away, but she didn't expect that there was another one underneath!

[Put the box back to its original position now, otherwise you will suffer the consequences! ]

It would be better if there was no words left. The more such warnings were given, the more interested Xiao Qingruo became.

She took the second note away again, and finally saw Xue Yi's "secret weapon".

Squeak~

Before she could take a closer look, a wisp of white smoke sprayed out from the bottom of the box.

"Ah? Cough cough..."

Xiao Qingruo was stunned and was sprayed by the white gas. She was too close to hide and was choked for a while.

"What is this?" She rubbed her nose, surprised.

In the box were dozens of neatly arranged silver needles.

The tip of each silver needle was different in color, including red, green, gray, and purple, and it was not simply dyed. It was obvious that it was the deterioration effect caused by long-term immersion in medicine.

"Poison needle? It turns out that this guy can also use hidden weapons." Xiao Qingruo suddenly realized.

At this time, she saw a smaller note at the bottom of the box.

After a closer look, it said: [You inhaled the five-step death powder. You will feel hot all over after taking one step, dizzy after taking two steps, and weak hands and feet after taking three steps. You will definitely die after five steps. If you don't want to die, don't move around. Wait for me to come back and detoxify you. ]

Xiao Qingruo frowned.
